Sculpture
Gerak Tempur (1996) (ht 61.5 cm) by Raja Shahriman is a welded metal sculpture of a warrior that suggests the dehumanizing effects of violence.
Sculpture, three-dimensional visual art that is typically displayed on a pedestal, always exists as an object, rather than primarily as a concept or an experience. Although it can be based on both, sculpture always focuses on its form and materials. Unlike installation art, sculpture does not usually bring the viewer into it. Instead, sculpture invites contemplation and scrutiny.
